how are you so sure the afterlife does not exist

Science, math, Darwin, etc etc.

None of which are incompatible with a soul or afterlife.


terrible analogy. It's more like a chess grandmaster telling you not to let Stockfish play for you. Which would be a very obvious thing to not do anyway, just like for a learning programmer.


The ony disgusting part of this thread is The arrogance in your comments, and this last one seals it


Can you share any evidence of this massive sympathy?


Is that the democratic party or a fringe left that is trying to accomplish something as part of the party ? what policies did the democrats actually implement across the years? Bernie is considered by the democratic party leadership to be a radical(hes not) and would prop up anyone but him


>What policies did the Democrats actually implement over the years?

Roughly in order: Don't Ask/Don't Tell repeal. Dodd-Frank. Lily Ledbetter (extends the statute of limitations on equal pay suits). Making it clear that sexual orientation and gender identity are equal to race in hate crime law. Banning lifetime coverage caps so your insurer cannot simply decide your life is not worth living and banning the practice of excluding pre-existing conditions from healthcare coverage so that you are not enslaved to whatever employer you happened to be working for when you got the worst news of your life. Establishing the CFPB to end unfair credit practices like medical debt reporting. Capping the cost of insulin at $35 per month for Medicare. Allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. ACA subsidy expansion. People our normie centrist presidents put on the bench decided Obergefell. People our normie centrist presidents put on the bench are protecting human expression.

You have to engage in motivated reasoning not to recognize these things as making life better. If you want to make life even better, consider voting for Democrats. When you don't vote for them, they become the minority party. When they are the minority party, no amount of impotent screaming or saying please can turn 49 votes into 61 votes, nor can it force Republicans to help them help you.

Bernie is a loudmouth with almost no legislative accomplishments that spent his life building his own brand and ratfucking the party. Of course the party leadership doesn't like him. When you get a rock in your shoe, do you like the rock?

Actual leaders are in the trenches right now embarrassing the GOP with this shutdown to force them to make COVID-era healthcare subsidies permanent. What's Bernie doing except derailing news events to complain that party leadership isn't supporting his faction in comparatively irrelevant local races?


I have to agree with the other person, comments like yours are annoyingly pedantic and just derails the conversation to a useless place. Like cmon, look at the game for a second, the chances of fps problems being due to him running on the Mx macbook pro (whether hardware or driver defects) is like 0.00001%.

A game like this should be running for like 1000+fps and this point should be emphasized in case the maker of this game is clueless when it comes to this kind of stuff, as his blog suggests (sharing an executable with users and asking for a recording is not how you would debug this perf issue) And it's totally fine if they are clueless, we all start somewhere. What sucks is derailing comments like yours that do the opposite and pretend that there is a conversation to be had here other than the implementation is probably terrible, which is, again, completely fine if it is, and we can talk about it and help them with it or point them in the direction of good resources about this stuff.

sorry for the rant, I just see these "akshually theoretically it could be due to blablabla" type comments on HN so much lately and I hate them


you're missing the point. Postgres performs well on large CPU. Postgres as-used by OP does not and is a waste of money. It's great that he benchmarked for a larger CPU, that's not what people are disputing, they are disputing the ridiculous conclusion.


> maybe that's a language design smell

why


honestly wtf are you talking about. What is these insane leaps and projections you're making?? how did you go from having a map that shows you where the driver is to "makes him your butler" and "micromanaging" and "workers don't have rights".


> how did you go from having a map that shows you where the driver is to "makes him your butler" and "micromanaging" and "workers don't have rights".

I sometimes forget that HN is mostly US people, unaware that there is a World out there.

It's illegal or challenged in courts in many developed countries, that are actually developed.

> showing a driver's location on maps in apps like Glovo or Uber can potentially infringe on workers' rights in Europe, particularly under EU labor and data protection regulations. In Europe, the legal status of gig economy workers on these platforms has been a contentious issue. Several European courts and regulatory bodies have made rulings that impact how these companies can monitor and track their drivers.

> the practice of constant monitoring of delivery drivers by app users (where customers can track drivers' real-time location) has been challenged in several European contexts

ELI5 for you: would you accept a webcam pointed at you that your client (or your employer's clients) can constantly watch, to see if your doing you job the way they want you to do it?

For example, would you accept that a McDonald's customer could monitor how their burger is being made and could give instructions to the people working there, by the sheer overwhelming power of having bought a burger?

And why not?
